Wu Keshan is Horqin's vanguard, and Buhe will arrive a few days before Zhao Wen's official ascension to the throne.

Wu Keshan walked into the city gate of Xuanzhen with a dozen or so entourages.

At this time, Xuan Town was heavily guarded, and all the defenders in the city and Zhao Wen's personal guard battalion were locked in every five steps, and every ten steps in a post, closely monitoring all the people in the city.

Every time Wu Keshan took one or two steps, he would be inspected and questioned by these patrolling soldiers.

In addition to Wu Keshan, the tribes on the grassland also sent their cronies or came in person.

Time passed slowly, and two days before ascending the throne, almost all the khans of the grassland tribes who surrendered to Zhao Wen came to Xuan Town.

Zhao Wen's officials in various places also sent their cronies, and some representatives of the army also came.

Chapter 641 The Enthronement Ceremony

Zhao Wen was sitting in the room of the Zongbing Yamen. There were several incense burners in the room. The green smoke in the incense burner came out from the lid, lingering in the room, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance.

Zhao Wen was wearing a Taoist robe and sitting quietly in the room.

Zhao Wen had been fasting for several days. During the period before he ascended the throne, Zhao Wen could not eat meat, spicy food with garlic, green onions, and ginger.

The diet is mainly light. In ancient times, the enthronement ceremony was the top priority of a country, and even Zhao Wen couldn't avoid it.

At this time, Xuan Town and its surroundings are all under martial law. Everyone who enters and leaves Xuan Town, no matter what his identity is, must be strictly checked.

Liu Wenzhong came outside Zhao Wen's room, and said to the guard standing at the door: "Please also inform your lord, I have something to see."

After a while, Liu Wenzhong walked into Zhao Wen's room.

"My lord, everything before the enthronement has been completed, and all the ceremonies have been rehearsed. The palace has been completely locked, and no one can enter until the enthronement ceremony begins..."

Liu Wenzhong stood in front of Zhao Wen and spoke.

Zhao Wen nodded, "Is the prison for worshiping heaven ready?"

Tailao is the sacrifice of the ancient emperors to heaven, which are three kinds of animals: cattle, sheep and pigs.

These three kinds of animals are the top animals, so when emperors sacrifice to heaven, they usually use these three kinds of animals to sacrifice to heaven.

"Return to my lord, I'm ready." Liu Wenzhong replied.

"Understood, after you go down, you must strictly guard the city to prevent accidents." Zhao Wen said.

Liu Wenzhong cupped his hands at Zhao Wengong, and then retreated.

……

As time passed by, Zhao Wen sat in the room of the Zongbing Yamen, looking at the dark night sky outside the window.

It was already ugly time, Zhao Wen hadn't slept all night, and now it was less than two hours before dawn, and the time for enthronement was getting closer and closer.

At this time, Liu Wenzhong came outside Zhao Wen's room with the servants who had already prepared.

"My lord, it's time to take a bath and change clothes!" Liu Wenzhong stood at the door of the room and bowed towards the door.

"come in!"

Zhao Wen's voice came from the room.

Liu Wenzhong walked into the room with the servants who had already prepared.

These servants prepared by Liu Wenzhong were the eunuchs selected from Prince Daming.

Since the position of eunuch was created, the emperor's bathing was done by eunuchs.

In about two quarters of an hour, Zhao Wen finished his bath.

Under the service of these eunuchs, Zhao Wen dressed neatly in the crown robes he wore when he ascended the throne.

At this time, Li Xiaoying had also finished bathing and changing clothes.

Because Li Xiaoying is still pregnant, the clothes are relatively loose.

When Zhao Wen walked out of the room, the servants, guards, and officials in the courtyard bowed to each other.

Zhao Wen waved his hand, "Get up!"

Everyone thanked them and stood up from the ground.

At the same time, Li Xiaoying came to Zhao Wen's side with the support of several maids.

Zhao Wen stood on the left side of Li Xiaoying and held up Li Xiaoying's right hand.

"My lord, the time is coming!" Liu Wenzhong stood in front of Zhao Wen and said with a bow.

Zhao Wen nodded, "Let's go!"

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he took Li Xiaoying's hand and walked out.

Everyone in the yard hurriedly followed behind Zhao Wen.

At this time, Li Xiaosan and Zhao Wen's personal guards in the Zongbing Yamen were all wearing golden armor, waiting quietly for Zhao Wen's arrival.

Outside the General Military Mansion, the emperor's guard of honor had already been unfolded, and the square outside the General Military Office was crowded to the brim.

When Zhao Wen walked to the front yard, Li Xiaosan and others hurriedly divided them into two parts, one part was located in front of Zhao Wen, opening the way for Zhao Wen, and the other part was located behind Zhao Wen, behind Zhao Wendian.

When Zhao Wen walked out of the general yamen, the guards in golden armor dispersed and stood on both sides.

Surrounded by everyone, Zhao Wen led Li Xiaoying onto the frame.

At this time, a large number of eunuchs and court ladies gathered outside the frame.

These eunuchs and court ladies are located at the front and rear of the frame.

The golden tuanlong canopy that symbolizes the identity of the emperor spreads all over the front and rear of the frame.

The canopy is located at the front and rear of Zhao Wen's carriage, and in front of the canopy are eunuchs or maids carrying palace lanterns.

At this time, their clothes were extraordinarily gorgeous. Although they were only servants, they also symbolized the majesty of the royal family.

Liu Wenzhong stood beside the frame and shouted: "Get up!"

The golden-armored guards standing on both sides were divided into two parts again. One part walked to the front of Zhao Wen's frame, stepped on the heavy-armored horses that had been prepared, and began to walk forward slowly.

The rest came to the back and stepped on the horses that had been prepared.People from both sides defended Zhao Wen.

At the forefront is a big man with a sturdy figure, carrying the national flag designed by Zhao Wen, and walking forward slowly.

The frame gradually moved, and the golden armored cavalry guarded behind Zhao Wen's frame.

The first place Zhao Wen went to was the Temple of Heaven, because Zhao Wen wanted to sacrifice to heaven first.

From the Zongbing Yamen to the Temple of Heaven, it is not far, nor close, and it is located in the outskirts of Xuanzhen.

On the road from Zongbingyamen to the Temple of Heaven, every five steps stood a soldier with live ammunition.

Behind them are the people watching the ceremony.

Zhao Wen sat in the carriage and passed in front of these common people.

The surrounding people looked at Zhao Wen's frame and all knelt down, shouting long live.

The people in Xuanzhen support Zhao Wen from the bottom of their hearts, because of Zhao Wen, Xuanzhen can become so good, because of Zhao Wen, Xuanzhen can become so rich, because of Zhao Wen, they can live a good life, because Zhao Wen, they never worried about eating...

"Long live your majesty, long live your majesty!!!"

An old man over half a century old knelt on both sides of the road, shouting at Zhao Wen's frame at the top of his voice.

He was originally just a commoner from a military household in Xuan Town. Two of his three sons died in battle, leaving only one young son.

At that time, he often ate the last meal without the next meal. If it was winter, he didn't even have a cotton coat to keep out the cold.

At that time, he really wanted to find a place where he could settle himself.But when he thought of his youngest son, he had to live on.

However, since Zhao Wen came to Xuanzhen, the days of poverty and misery are gone forever.

His life is also getting better day by day. His youngest son has joined the army a few years ago and made a lot of contributions. Now he is a chief banner officer.

His son also married a daughter-in-law who gave birth to a fat grandson for him.Now he is living a very good life, according to his words, even if it is given to a god, he will not change it.

"It's all thanks to His Majesty, it's all thanks to His Majesty!" The old man couldn't help being excited, and could only keep shouting, "Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Long live the sound one after another, forming a huge sound wave, soaring to the sky.

Zhao Wen gradually disappeared under the gaze of the common people.

Zhao Wen sat in the frame and waved to the outside through the transparent glass.

The frame moved forward slowly, and when Zhao Wen came to the position two miles in front of the Temple of Heaven, the sky was already bright.

Zhao Wen's guard of honor stopped, and Zhao Wen took Li Xiaoying's hand and walked down from the frame.

At this time, all the officials of Xuanzhen gathered here. They were divided into two parts in civil and military order, and stood on both sides.

Military generals wear bright armor, and civil servants wear official uniforms.

The official uniforms of the civil servants were roughly the same as those of the Ming government, and they stood there neatly without saying a word.

Zhao Wen stood in front of the frame, patted Li Xiaoying's hand, "wait for me here!"

Only Zhao Wen can go to the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and his guard of honor can only wait for him here.

The remaining two miles can only be left by Zhao Wen.

"Husband, I will wait for you here!" Li Xiaoying smiled sweetly and looked at Zhao Wen.

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen who was wearing a crown suit, and recalled how she was when she saw Zhao Wen just now.

Li Xiaoying couldn't imagine that the poor frontier army had grown to such a level.

Little things from the beginning emerged in Li Xiaoying's mind like a movie.

Zhao Wen nodded, and then walked forward.

It didn't take long for Zhao Wen to cover the distance of two miles.

Zhao Wen came to a platform in front of the Temple of Heaven, and there was a big tripod with huge incense candles burning in it.

In front of the cauldron, there is a table wrapped in yellow cloth, on which three animals are placed. In front of the three animals, there is a small incense burner, and a few small incense candles are placed beside the incense burner.

On the edge of the table, there are two red candles.

Zhao Wen took out a few joss sticks, put them on the candles and lit them.

Afterwards, Zhao Wen bowed three times to the three animals, and put the incense candle in the incense burner.

Zhao Wen stepped back, knelt down in front of the table, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.

"The emperor is above, and the earth is below. For the ancestors of China, I, Zhao Wen, will definitely live up to these thousands of miles of land in the future. I will definitely protect this land of thousands of miles with my life, even if I am smashed to pieces, I will not hesitate."

Zhao Wen looked at the sky, and said every word with a loud voice.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wen kowtowed a few times.

After doing all this, Zhao Wen stood up and faced the officials.

Under the leadership of Liu Wenzhong, Baiguan came forward and came to a distance of fifty steps in front of Zhao Wen.

As for Zhao Wen's guard of honor and Li Xiaoying, they still stayed where they were.

"I implore Your Majesty to ascend the throne!" Liu Wenzhong stood at the front, knelt down and shouted.

Zhao Wen shook his head, "I'm widowed, so I can't afford such a big responsibility."

This is three requests and three concessions. Although it is meaningless, it is also part of etiquette.

After three requests and three concessions, Zhao Wen said: "Since this is the case, I have no choice but to obey."

"Liu Wenzhong!" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong who was standing in front of the officials.

Liu Wenzhong, who was wearing an official uniform, stood up, "The minister is here!"

"Read out the enthronement imperial edict!" Zhao Wen said.

"The minister leads the decree!" Liu Wenzhong bowed and saluted, and then came to the front of Zhao Wen, facing all the officials.

Liu Wenzhong took out the enthronement imperial edict that had been prepared and unfolded it.

"Since Pangu opened the sky, the Three Emperors established the country, and the Five Emperors opened the borders, the Chinese heritage has been passed down for more than 5000 years.
